Well, if John's info on the a/c is correct, and I have no reason to believe it's not, the a/c itself would have an interesting story to tell. According to Prien/Rodeike, it was built at WNF between Jun and Aug 1943 -- series 20 000 to 20 800. It must have spent a full tour somewhere before being brought into Erla-Antwerp, RW E (what it is), or B&V in early 1944 to be converted to the DB 605AS engine. Then it would have been given to Walter Oesau for the last months/weeks of his life.
Does anyone know more about the travels of this a/c?
